Chapter 16
Walter’s grip was unyielding, almost crushing her jaw.
Clara was drenched in a cold sweat, her pain tangible.
“Wake the hell up.” Walter snapped coldly. “You think you’ve got the chops to manipulate the media? Mess with Tamara, and I’ll shut it down fast. But if i take Marlie, you can kiss goodbye to seeing her again.”
Marlie was Clara’s weak spot. Through her pain, Clara mocked. “Oh, Walter, pulling this shit? Shows you’ve got no shame. What’s this, if not sugar daddy vibes? You marry Ms. Moss and shove me and our kid into hiding? Didn’t peg you for such a lowlife.”

Walter’s eyes turned cold, laced with mockery. “Oh, cozying up to Willard now? Thinking you can snag a rich guy? A shameless woman like you, a mother? No, a bitch I guess.”

Cornered by memories of his past actions, Clara, flushed with shame, resorted to her final gambit.
She leaned in, her seductive form clinging to him, challenging him, “Walter, you’re not still hung up on me, are you?”
Suddenly chilled, Walter snapped back to reality.
Harbor feelings for her? Impossible. He derided himself.
Clara laughed mockingly, feigning flirtation. “So, the addendum means I can’t bring men home. Does that leave the rest of the world fair game?”
Walter’s fists tightened, his jaw set, veins throbbing at his temples, his brows quivering like an enraged beast.
Clara read his brewing storm all too well,
Despite her dread of his wrath, she met his glaring stare head–on.
